Was extremely disappointed in my ER visit. No one at desk when we came in, told to sign the paper, waited, took back later, had 3 blown veins before the CT scan lady actually put one in right, the dr didn't seem to know I even had exrays... pumped steroids and antibiotics in me and still have no clue what is causing the pain shooting down my arms besides it must be the covid. The worst experience I have ever had and "my hospital of choice" where "my heart Dr's work" is ST THOMAS. VERY DISTURBED.

What are the symptoms of RSV?

Ascension | Oct 14, 2021

Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV, may appear like a bad cold to adults. For infants or young children, RSV can cause bronchiolitis -- a virus which causes swelling and an increase in mucus in the airway. This can cause difficulty breathing through their nose and eventually dehydration due to difficulty latching to the breast or bottle for infants. Other symptoms of RSV may include a fever or a very wet sounding cough, which can turn into coughing fits. Those coughing fits can cause a child to gag and potentially vomit.

When you need care more immediately and your regular doctor isn’t available, you may be trying to decide between urgent care or an emergency room. For life-threatening emergencies and serious illness or injury, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, open fractures or severe bleeding, go to an emergency room. When you need care for minor illness or injury, such as allergies, fevers, cuts without severe bleeding that may need stitches or a severe sore throat, and your doctor isn’t available, seek urgent care. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the ER or dial 9-1-1. Don’t delay getting the care you need.
